ALCTS e-Forum: Interning: A Supervisor's and Student's Perspectives
Thursday, March 19 through Friday, March 20, 2015
Moderated by Mary Wilkins Jordan and Kristen Gallant
Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It?s free and open to everyone!
Registration information is at the end of the message.
Each day, discussion begins and ends at:
Pacific: 7 a.m. ? 3 p.m.
Mountain: 8 a.m. ? 4 p.m.
Central: 9 a.m. ? 5 p.m.
Eastern: 10 a.m. ? 6 p.m.
Are you currently completing an internship or have any advice for those in
one? March's e-Forum will focus on the sharing experiences and discussing
"what makes a great internship." Topics will include: what are great
questions to ask a supervisor, how to choose the right location, how this
impacts your future career or how it helps with your current job, and so
much more. We look forward to a stimulating, valuable conversation about
internships and how they work for institutions, schools, and students.

Kristen Gallant is currently a graduate student in her last semester of the
LIS program at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She has a B.A. and M.A.
in Art History, with a focus in Medieval and Renaissance art. Her academic
interests are in digital libraries, art libraries, special collections,
collection development, and metadata. Her current practicum project is based
on the Foliophile publication, Pages from the Past. The project is a
collaborative effort between the Digital Services and Special Collections
departments at the University of Missouri-Columbia that involves collection
development, digitization, research, metadata creation, and web publication
of individual leaves. After graduation, Kristen hopes to find employment as
a librarian of an art department or in a digital library.
What Is an e-Forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
How to Register
You must register your email address to subscribe to or access an electronic
discussion list on ALA's Mailing List Service. Once you have registered for
one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave
the list. Find instructions for subscribing and unsubscribing online.
